Zitat:It”™s good to see Lover Under Cover back, 2 years after their debut “Set the Night on Fire”. For those who haven”™t read the review for their debut, I must say that Lover Under Cover consists of: Mikael Erlandsson (Last Autumn”™s Dream, Salute, Heartbreak Radio etc.), Mikael Carlsson on guitar, Martin Kronlund (Phenomena, Dog Face, Gypsy Rose, Salute, Radio Silence etc.) on guitar & Perra Johansson (Coldspell) on drums.

“Into the Night” picks up from where the band left off with their debut. Melodic rock/AOR tracks with fine melodies, nice hooks, rockin”™ guitars and great vocals. Surely, it ain”™t much of a surprise, huh? The music quality of the album is representative of musicians who play here. Among the tracks of the album there”™s a cover of the tuneful “Toy Soldier”, which was officialy featured on Martika”™s self-titled debut in 1988. The song is somewhat more atmospheric now. Still an enjoyable tune no matter what. Let me remind you that Salute was Mikael Erlandsson & Martin Kronlund”™s band. The production is rather smooth and rockin”™. It has been taken care of by no other than the band”™s guitarist Martin Kronlund (Phenomena, Dog Face, Gypsy Rose, Salute, Radio Silence etc.).

Lover Under Cover seem to continue their way through their so beloved melodic rock & AOR music paths. Mikael Erlandsson (Last Autumn”™s Dream, Salute, Heartbreak Radio etc.) is a hell of a singer either way you see it. Once again his performances are superb. The band has surely gone a step further with this album. It”™s very gratifying on the whole. I do think that they can do even better in the future so I”™ll be around looking out for them. “Into the Night” is recommended to those who fancy Scandi-AOR & melodic rock music at large.
